Philipp Scharrenberg "Confusion is Human"

Philipp Scharrenberg is not a fan of artificial intelligence – he prefers to create intelligent art. In his fifth program, his great love stands by him: language. Cabaret & tender mindfucks "Mindfuck" means confusion with a method. And the confusion is there. It haunts the socially weak media and lies on the greenwashed supermarket shelf; where newspaper hoaxes once floated, alternative truths now croak. How can one still distinguish between fiction and faction? In the age of disinformation, we no longer need anyone to confuse us via WhatsApp – we do it ourselves. The main thing is to be connected. Time to lead us out of the maze! Philipp Scharrenberg is not a fan of artificial intelligence – he prefers to create intelligent art. For thinking along. Because he is someone who pays close attention. A scab-picker, a probing questioner, somewhere between a childlike mind and an enlightener, who keeps asking: "Waru-hum?" As a compulsive neurotic, he knows how society ticks and which buttons he needs to press to make it squirm. With a lot of wit and heart and full physical commitment, he explores its psychological motives and movements to bring clarity where confusion reigns in the brain. In his fifth program, his great love stands by him: language. Rhyme, poetry, with songs, radio plays, and stand-up, he illustrates how difficult it is to be sure of one's own opinion today. Not a "them up there" cabaret, but a "we down here" cabaret, awarded the German Cabaret Prize 2023. A 'mindfuck', indeed – but tender. Awarded the German Cabaret Prize 2023.
